These drives offer an advanced LVD interface that supports transfer rates of up to 80 MB/sec. To take advantage of the higher transfer rate of 80 MB/sec, your computer will need to have a controller that supports the LVD interface. If you have a SCSI controller that does not support this interface, the drive will still function, but will be limited to data transfer speeds significantly lower than 80MB/sec due to the lower speed of your controller. If you have a slower controller, you may wish to purchase an LVD controller card to take advantage of Ultrastar’s 80 MB/sec data transfer rate. An LVD controller card will fit into any available slot in your computer. To determine if your current controller card is LVD, check the documentation that came with your controller or contact the controller manufacturer.
If you currently have single-ended wide SCSI drives and a non-LVD controller, you may still attach the LVD model Ultrastar 18ES to the existing cable. If you choose to replace your non-LVD controller with an LVD model, in most cases, single-ended wide SCSI drives can be attached to the same bus with an LVD drive. However, there are some LVD controllers that do not support single-ended wide SCSI drives. Check the documentation that came with your controller or contact the manufacturer to ensure that your LVD controller will support single-ended wide SCSI drives.
The Ultrastar 18ES family is ideal use by video producers and movie editors. These drives are designed to work with MMX systems. Compatibility listings are included in the appendix. Before you begin installation, please read the “Hard disk drive handling guide” on the following page.

Hard disk drive handling guide
These notes are designed to provide a simple overview of the need for caution when handling a disk drive.
Disk drives can be easily damaged by electrical static shock or rough handling. In order to minimize the risk of damage to a disk drive, it is essential that the drive be handled while resting on a cushioned surface (which is electrostatically safe). Examples of static-safe mats available at the time of this printing are 3M's 8210 table mat and 3M's "First Touch" computer pad.
Great care should be taken when handling disk drives. Do not bump them against any object. When attaching brackets or mounting the drive in the computer, be very careful. It is very easy to unintentionally cause shocks which exceed specifications.
Please note that the capacity of each disk drive to withstand electrical or mechanical shock varies according to its design. The IBM Hard Disk Drive Technical Support Center can advise you on the suitability of your Ultrastar drive for a specific application.
Damage incurred to a drive might not be immediately evident and could cause the drive to fail months later.

Step 1: Installation checklist
To install the Ultrastar drive you may need the following items, depending on your computer’s components:
!The installation kit (as shown in the diagram below) containing the Ultrastar drive, 4 mounting screws, and any related publications. Save the box the drive came in.

!The documentation that came with your computer or storage enclosure.
!A small, flat-blade screwdriver.
!A SCSI controller, which is either built-in or an adapter inside your computer, and any related documentation.
!Mounting brackets, if required for your computer. Contact your place of purchase if you are not certain if mounting brackets are required.
!A bootable DOS diskette. (See the section entitled Making a bootable diskette in the appendix.)
!If you are replacing an older internal drive with the new Ultrastar drive and want to copy all of the files from the older drive to the new drive, you may need additional software. (See the section entitled Drive copy in the Appendix.)

Step 2: Prepare for installation
Begin by backing up your existing drive to avoid any loss of data during installation. (See the section entitled Backup and Restore in the Appendix.) After completing the backup, shut down as normal.
Opening your computer
!Turn the system off.
!Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
!Remove all cables from the back of your computer, labeling them if necessary.
!Remove the cover from your computer. (Consult your user's guide for instructions if needed.)
Unpackaging your hard drive
!If available, use an ESD (Electronic Static Discharge) wrist strap while handling your drive.
!If an ESD wrist strap is not available, discharge static electricity by establishing a common voltage between your body and the hard drive. Simultaneously touch the hard drive in its antistatic bag and an unpainted metal surface on the outside of your computer system with your bare hands.
!Remove the drive from the antistatic package that it was shipped in. Handle the drive only by the sides and avoid excessive movement until the drive has been mounted.
!Do not touch the main computer chip board.
!Do not drop the drive. A drop from only 1/4 inch could permanently damage your hard drive.
!Place the drive carefully on a static free area.
!Record the following information:

Note:Do not low-level format your drive! IBM drives are low-level formatted by the manufacturer and reformatting may cause permanent damage to your drive and your system. (See the section entitled Utilities in the Appendix.)

Step 3: Jumper settings
The jumper settings are found on the hard drive on the opposite end of the interface connector (see diagram page 12). They are physical settings that must be changed for different uses of a hard drive. As shown below, there are two option jumper blocks located on the card of 50 and 68 pin models of the Ultrastar 18ES. 80 pin models have only one option jumper block.
SCSI ID Jumpers
Each SCSI device will need to have its own SCSI ID. You can use ID 0 through ID 15, reserving ID 7 for your controller card. Follow the table below to set an ID on your SCSI drive.
